San Jose State student Steven Haryono became Silicon Valley’s latest millionaire this week.

The 22-year-old didn’t design a killer app or cash in on Yelp’s IPO. Instead, Haryono was announced as the winner of Chase Bank’s “Chase Freedom” Million Dollar Sweepstakes contest on Facebook. Sometime last month, he was one of thousands of people to click “like” on the Chase Freedom page. On Oct. 26, his name was selected in a random drawing, and he picked up the requisite giant check for $1 million this week at a Chase branch in Fremont, where he lives.

A Chase spokesman said Haryono was unavailable for interviews Friday, so I couldn’t find out his plans for the windfall. No doubt he’s got a million things on his mind right now.

ACCESSIBLE SANTA: On Sunday, Stanford Shopping Center will be one of five malls across the country hosting private photo sessions with Santa exclusively for families with special-needs kids. The event is being organized by support network AbilityPath.org and the Noerr Programs, a digital imaging company that, let’s say, helps set up Santa’s December itinerary.

“Caring Santa,” taking place at Stanford’s Center Pavilion from 9 to 11 a.m., will be more physically accommodating than your average visit to a mall Santa, and the sensory overload that makes it difficult for some kids will be dialed down. Families are encouraged to RSVP in advance at www.abilitypath.org to cut down on waiting time.

TALKING TURKEY: Sacred Heart Community Service in San Jose — which will start giving out 4,000 food boxes with turkeys, veggies, canned goods and milk to needy families next week — desperately needs more turkeys. You can take donations to Sacred Heart’s donation station at 1381 S. First St., or if you bring a frozen turkey to Willow Street Pizza in Willow Glen on Monday, you’ll get a card for a free pizza on your next visit.

Another good option — but without the pizza — is to donate a turkey to Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, which is about 4,000 short of what it needs to distribute to community pantries and soup kitchens for Thanksgiving.

Take the frozen gobblers to Second Harvest’s locations in San Jose (750 Curtner Ave.) or San Carlos (1051 Bing St.), which have both extended their hours. If you need more details, go to www.shfb.org or call 866-234-3663. And it should go without saying: Don’t just drop a turkey in the food barrels you find throughout the valley. They’ll spoil and can’t be used.
